Abstract

The poor compatibility between Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), which has a different polarity, has decreased its mechanical and physical properties. Availability of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene grafting Oleic Acid (LLDPE-g-OA) compatibilizer and Organo-Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (O-PCC) filler in the PLA/LLDPE blends can improve the quality of the mechanical and physical properties of the polymer blends. This study aims to determine the influence of O-PCC as filler in the PLA/LLDPE blends with the existence of the LLDPE-g-AO compatibilizer to improve its mechanical and physical properties and compare the results with Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) filler. This polymer composite was made via a blending method with a solvent system, where PLA was dissolved in chloroform while LLDPE and LLDPE-g-AO were dissolved in xylene. After they were dissolved, glycerol 1% was added, followed by the addition of O-PCC variations. This research shows that the higher the filler concentration, the lower the water absorption percentage, where the optimum results are obtained for the PLA/LLDPE/LLDPE-g-AO/O-PCC composites variation of (69.5:19.5:10). :1) with a tensile strength of 22.629 MPa with a water absorption percentage of 45.36%.

Abstract

Semi-biodegradable plastic is an alternative that is currently being developed in order to reduce environmental pollution due to excessive use of commercial plastics and produce plastics that have physical and mechanical capabilities that are almost the same (not much different) with commercial plastics. However, the problem that arises is the low compatibility of mixtures with different polarities on the physical and mechanical strength of semi-biodegradable plastics. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the addition of a linear low-density polyethylene grafting oleic acid (LLDPE-g-AO) compatibility to a mixture of poly lactic acid (PLA) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) in terms of physical and mechanical properties tests. The mixing of PLA and LLDPE was carried out through a blending method with a solvent system, where PLA used chloroform, LLDPE and the LLDPE-g-AO compatibilizer used xylene, which was followed by the addition of 1% glycerol in the mixing of the two resulting solutions. The results of this study indicate that the addition of LLDPE-g-AO effectively resulted in an increase in the mechanical strength and water absorption of the PLA/LLDPE mixture. The results of testing the mechanical properties of the most optimum tensile strength is the mixture of PLA/LLDPE/LLDPE-g-AO (70:22.5:7.5) which is 3.8078 MPa with the results of the physical properties test for absorption of 3.66 %. Keywords: PLA, LLDPE, LLDPE-g-AO, tensile strength, water adsorption

Abstract

This study investigates the improvement of the mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)/cyclic natural rubber (CNR) after the addition of organo-precipitated calcium carbonate (O-PCC). The impact on the properties of the LLDPE/CNR/LLDPE-g-OA/O-PCC composites was investigated by a series of empirical experiments. First, the polymer composite was blended in the molten state using an internal mixer with a heating temperature of 160 °C and a rotation speed of 100 rpm. The LLDPE was placed in a chamber of internal mixer until melted, followed by CNR, LLDPE-g-OA, and O-PCC. The polymer composites with an O-PCC concentration of 5% obtained the optimal mechanical properties compared to other variations, with a tensile strength of 17.17 MPa and Young's modulus of 252.68 MPa. The presence of O-PCC resulted in better thermal stability and a change in the melting point temperature of 124 °C. The FTIR spectra of the polymer composite showed the specific characteristics of O-PCC at 872.1 cm–1. The morphology of the polymer composite indicates that the O-PCC is evenly dispersed in the polymer composite.

Abstract

The approach to the synthesis of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2NPs) using plants as capping agents has been widely researched because of its eco-friendly, low-cost, simple, effective, and reusability. In this research, we used Moringa oleifera leaf extract-mediated CeO2NPs. CeO2NPs were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, and DRS UV-vis. The photocatalytic activity of CeO2NPs was tested using a phenol dye concentration of 7 mg/L with variations in photocatalyst weight of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 mg under UV irradiation, respectively, with time variations of 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, and 150 min. SEM and TEM morphology results showed that the CeO2NPs were spherical and agglomerated. The crystal structure is cubic, with a crystal size of 18 nm with a band gap of 2.87 eV. CeO2NPs showed high photo-degradation phenol dye of 94.45% under visible light in 120 min irradiation time. The results show that M. oleifera leaf extract could be as inexpensive and safe for synthesizing other metal oxide nanoparticles, potentially having applications in the biomedical and environmental fields.

Abstract

A plastic composite consisting of polylactic acid (PLA), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), oleic acid-grafted linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE-g-OA) compatibilizer, and organo-precipitated calcium carbonate (O-PCC) have been successfully made in the molten state. This study aims to characterize the mechanical, physical, thermal, and morphological characteristics of the PLA/LLDPE/O-PCC plastic composite in the presence of an LLDPE-g-OA compatibilizer. The plastic composite was prepared by blending PLA, LLDPE, LLDPE-g-OA, and O-PCC using an internal mixer with a heating of 160 °C and a rotation of 100 rpm. LLDPE and LLDPE-g-OA are put together into the inner mixer chamber until melted, followed by PLA and O-PCC. The most optimum plastic composite composition is PLA/LLDPE/LLDPE-g-g-OA/O-PCC (67.5:22.5:5:5). The mechanical properties showed an increase in tensile strength of 9.78 MPa. The physical properties showed that the minimum water absorption was 0.74%, the biodegradation in humus soil showed a degradation rate of 0.09% per day, and the thermal properties showed better stability with a melting point of 146.5 °C. The FTIR spectrum is similar to the polymer blend without O-PCC. The morphology indicates that the composite is compatible and homogeneous. This semi-biodegradable plastic composite has significant implications for reducing the accumulation of plastic waste in the environment.
